The 16-point victory capped a game in which the Apache Ladies trailed 37-30 at the break, plus it improved coach Trenia Jonesâ€™ all-time record against Jacinto to 27-0.

â€śI thought it was like we were playing in mud,â€ť Jones said of the opening half. â€śWe just kind of picked up the tempo in the second half. We did a lot of fouling in the first half and we had a lot of people in foul trouble.â€ť

With the win, TJC improved to 10-11 on the season and 3-5 in conference heading into Saturdayâ€™s game versus Jacksonville at Wagstaff Gymnasium. Meanwhile, San Jacinto fell to 6-20 overall and 1-7 in conference and plays host to conference-leader Trinity Valley on Saturday.

The Apache Ladies turned things around at the break.

â€śWe just told them they were playing soft and they were playing sluggish,â€ť Jones said. â€śSan Jacinto only had eight players and we were playing down to their level.â€ť

Robinson set the tone with her second-half performance, but Apache Ladies stepped up their play as well. Adrienne Phillips followed with a 20-point effort, while Carolina Lopez contributed 12 points and Bria Emanuel added 10.
